Terroir:
The vineyards for "Lieux Perdus" are located near the famous "Bassin de Thau" and the village of Pezenas in the Languedoc region of France. This area benefits from a Mediterranean climate tempered by the influence of the nearby Pyrenees, which helps to slow the ripening process and enhance the complexity and finesse of the wine.
Viticulture:
The grapes are sourced from vineyards with a focus on sustainable practices. The Pinot Noir used for this wine is carefully cultivated to ensure high-quality fruit.
Winemaking:
"Lieux Perdus" is made using the classic rosé de presse method combined with white wine vinification techniques. The Pinot Noir grapes are gently pressed to extract the color without tannin, and the wine is cool-fermented to capture delicate aromatics and flavors. To maintain freshness, the wine is bottled under screwcap.
Tasting Notes:
This wine is light and dry, with a pretty pink hue. It features aromas of strawberries, leading to a palate packed with creamy red fruit flavors and balanced by a bright, blackcurrant finish.
